Manifesto

Mellonea is a roleplaying guild, and we fancy ourselves to be a well-spoken, friendly, and mature group. It is our desire to maintain an atmosphere of intelligent and light-hearted roleplaying for our members. We also value the gameplay experience, both mid-game and end-game, and we strive to develop both. We value our reputation on Kirin Tor, and we work hard to protect it. We were established by Sykora in early November of 2005, and our reputation has remained untarnished since then, something we're very proud of. We don't brook nonsense from our members when it comes to the guild reputation being at risk. To be in Mellonea is a great responsibility, and a great pleasure!

We have well-documented rules that make kindness, integrity, common sense, maturity and courtesy our tenets.

We are a family-friendly guild, with members of all ages, although most of us are over 23. We have some members who are over 35.

We seek to have fun with World of Warcraft in a laid-back environment. There is no big pressure to level or to raid. There is also no heavy pressure to roleplay at this or that event. Everyone has a different definition of fun, and, within reason, we like to let our members do whatever makes them happy, without commentary.

With the exception of the Councillors who form an advisory board for the current Guildmaster, we have no meaningful rank system. New members are accepted into Mellonea as "Unsworn", and after a brief in-character induction ceremony become "Oathsworn". We have a few titles for people who volunteer for specific guild duties (Celebrant for RP event coordinator, Quatermaster for guild bank manager, and similar), but we've decided that a serious system of ranks is not something that is important enough to spend a lot of time attending to. Being a member is honor enough!

If Mellonea sounds like the home for you, please consider joining us.
